That spec looks pretty 'standard' for an 'S' and I found plenty on eBay a while back. This for instance has more spec, Sports Chrono and transferable OPC warranty with lower miles and lower price? 18-way seats are the best you can get and I'd be all over this car like a tramp on chips.

Do you need Bose given a fabric roof is going to compromise sound quality in the cabin?

My car is a similar spec to the one that Zingers highlighted - mine is 2016, came with just under 5K on the clock and was £46K - I found it tough to find a decent spec 981 (Cayman or Boxster) at the time, in a decent colour combo - in particular I wanted the PSE and adjustable seat options.

From memory, Caymans were about £2-5K more than an equivalent Boxster at the time - not looked since, so not sure where that sits now

Several truths in that Zingers. The 14s and 18s are superb if you can find them and the PASM I think actually detracts from the car feeling properly planted at speed. The firmer setting helps, but its not as well tied down as I think it should be. Whilst I've not tried standard springs on a 981; I believe that EVO Magazine was right when they said the ideal Boxster or Cayman would be specced with the manual 'box AND X73 sports suspension. Wish I'd taken that more seriously at the time. _________________"I don't know what it is about peace conferences, but they always seem to attract terrorists, extremists and nutterists."

You guys are talking about boxters.. equivalent boxters are about 5k cheaper. I want a cayman.

Thought Mr Zingers had maybe started sprinkling something in his cigars when he started talking about cloth tops

FFS it was the 981CS that threw me plus the fact Jonttt has (almost) brainwashed me that the Boxster is THE only 981 to buy _________________Alfa Romeo’s 4C is everything a Italian sports-car should be: it’s gorgeous to the point of pornography, distinctive enough that nobody will ever mistake it for a Porsche, handles like it’s on rails and steers like a kart.
